Identify capability gaps in the field and with dealers; partner with Retail Planning and Dealer Ops and Infrastructure to address them.

Field Feedback, Collaboration, and Operations

Provide qualitative dealer and field feedback to:

o Dealer Ops and Infrastructure on program friction points, systemic issues, and areas where analytics should dig deeper.

o Retail Planning on offer effectiveness, objections, local market realities, and messaging needs.

Share best practices and case studies across RSMs, brands, and internal teams to scale what works.

Oversee regional contract management, ensuring alignment with GM standards and GM Energy program requirements in partnership with legal and operations.

Lead people operations for the RSM team, including hiring, performance management, and, when necessary, termination decisions, in alignment with GM policies and HR guidance.
